Christmas Eve

This year, I hosted a Christmas Eve cookie party and hot chocolate bar. I prepared the whole week in advance and everything turned out great! I tried to take a couple quick photos of the snacks and hot chocolate bar, but we got back to our house from church the same time everyone else did and it was a mad rush to the food. The pictures definitely do not do it justice! The hot chocolate warmed in the crock pot and you could mix in a multitude of different toppings from caramel flavored marshmallows to butterscotch chips to crushed up candy canes- YUM! The cookies and snacks were wonderful, especially Mom's recipes :) I think this will be a tradition we continue in the future!
